Honoring Milestone Work Anniversaries: Celebrating Commitment and Growth

The Arc Mercer is proud to recognize team members who have reached important milestone anniversaries, honoring not only the years they have dedicated to the agency, but the lasting impact they continue to make through their work.

Long-term employees are the foundation of the Arc Mercer’s strength, providing stability, institutional knowledge, and a deep understanding of the mission that guides the agency forward.

Milestone anniversaries reflect more than time served. They represent relationships built with consumers, skills developed through hands-on experience, and a shared commitment to growth, both personal and organizational. 

The Arc Mercer remains committed to investing in employees who choose to build their careers within the agency, offering opportunities for professional development, advancement, and leadership from within.

The following team members were recognized for five years of service:

• Funmilola Alabi, SBSS, Yardville

• Samuel Kargbo, DSP, Van Deusen

• Pedro Vasquez Sapon, Site Supervisor, Baskers Basin, MVC

Each of these individuals has contributed to the agency’s success through consistency, dedication, and a willingness to grow alongside the programs they support. Over the course of five years, their roles have helped strengthen services, support consumers through change and progress, and reinforce a culture rooted in care, accountability, and teamwork.

The Arc Mercer values internal growth and recognizes that long-term employees play a critical role in mentoring others, preserving best practices, and shaping the future of the organization. 

Celebrating milestone anniversaries is one way the agency acknowledges that commitment and reaffirms its dedication to supporting staff at every stage of their career.

Milestone anniversary recipients receive appreciation from the agency as well as gift cards to emphasize the agency’s commitment to employee recognition.

Recognizing longevity matters. Taking time to acknowledge years of service helps ensure dedication, growth, and commitment remain central to the Arc Mercer’s culture.
